Culture matters (June 2008)

The following research project was established to “examine issues facing the development of NZ’s cultural industries and the role of government in supporting their development and ongoing sustainability".

While the report was prepared for the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (now part of MBIE), discussions have from the start included the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, the lead Ministry in the cultural sector. New Zealand Trade and Enterprise which leads the government’s involvement with the creative industries also has an interest.
